What is the lifecycle of a fragment in Android?

The fragment lifecycle includes the following states and corresponding callback methods:

• onAttach(): Called when the fragment is attached to an activity.
• onCreate(): The fragment is created. Called after onAttach().
• onCreateView(): The system calls this method when the fragment needs to create its user interface view.
• onViewCreated(): Called immediately after onCreateView(), indicating that the view hierarchy has been created.
• onActivityCreated(): Called when the activity's onCreate() method containing the fragment has finished.
• onStart(): The fragment becomes visible to the user.
• onResume(): The fragment becomes active and receives focus.
• onPause(): The system calls this method as part of the activity lifecycle when preparing to go to the background or become invisible.
• onStop(): The fragment is no longer visible to the user.
• onDestroyView(): Called when the view associated with the fragment is being cleaned up.
• onDestroy(): The fragment is destroyed.
• onDetach(): The fragment is detached from the activity.

The lifecycle diagram looks approximately like this:
